Analysis stage of presentation preparation: audience, purpose, medium, setting. The agenda slide in a standalone presentation communicates the main ideas and logic of the presentation. The main problem of impromptu speaking is the temptation to ramble, rather than get to the point. Which of the following is not a key feature of a standalone presentation: slides are visually appealing and require a presenter to explain the main point orally. Compose an opening that engages the audience: establish rapport, capture attention. Anecdote: a very short story, usually a true one, that is used to make a point and bring subject to life: motivate your audience to care, provide a framework or map. Organize the middle of your presentation to be easy to understand: focus on points that are meaningful to the audience, limit the number of key points, present your info using a recognizable pattern.
